The Scarlett 8i6 from Focusrite is an 8 input/6 output USB 2.0 audio interface designed to make home multi-track recording a breeze. The interface features two award-winning preamps, while two additional analog inputs, four analogue outputs, S/PDIF and MIDI provide true multi-track recording. No additional DI units are needed as two Hi-Z instrument inputs can be plugged straight into the unit. Additionally, two virtual Loopback inputs are also available for routing digital audio between software applications, ideal for capturing online audio.
